I can remember wanting more and thinking I needed to be better, etc. I also remember when I realized that I am Enough, just as I am......and everything changed. That mysterious side of me became more present to some people. I didn't need to follow the crowd, attend the party. Saying NO is easy now and I am a magnet for my tribe daily. I thought I needed those connections to shine or grow. Not realizing that I Am the Light and and I AM ENOUGH. So are you!

I have been reading Price Pritchard's book You Squared and it is amazing. It really has me taking a deeper look at how I do things. I want you to think about how you are currently operating your business. Look at it from the perspective of a customer. This isn't about your skill, it's more about your business acumen. What type of business person are you? Would you patronize your business? This is a three part series. Listen to part 1 and let me know what you think. www.tonyastokes.com or call 704-756-2755 or drop me an email at info@tonyastokes.com

Never let people talk you out of going after your goals. You can do several things at once. You will eventually delegate tasks to free up your time. Take your time and pace yourself. Surround yourself with people who inspire you, you woll do so much more. Good Luck

We have Planners who write great plans every year but never execute them. Then they are Doers who are busy doing any and everything but not really making a mark. Which one are you? Start the New Year off with great expectations. Write your vision and start moving around as if it is already done. If God wants you to have it, it is yours. But remember, you still have work to do. www.tonyastokes.com 704-756-2752

I think this episode is all over the place. I was trying to explain something to a listener and got caught up explaining something totally different. I thought the rest of the information was worth sharing. Remember, you can do it all. But what do you want to be known for? Perhaps you should carve out extra time in your schedule to work on The ONE Thing that keeps you up at night. Because you know if done right it will change your life. Or make time to do The ONE Thing that you hate doing but it must get done. Anyway, give the podcast a listen it's only 13 mins
